From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, I eventually got bored of Arch and installed Gentoo this summer. I enjoyed it 😎.
PS. I wish there was a Gentoo emoji.

This is more or less my experience with it. My noob-ass just can't handle even EndeavorOS.
Endeavor or Garuda?

My first ever distro was EndeavourOS. I installed it when I was 13 or 14 years old because someone on reddit said it's customizable. I never felt like I need to switch to anything else.
I've used Ubuntu for many years, it is a good start for beginners. Although my new recommendations is Mint.
Is there an easier way to install Arch? I know there's Archinstall but my dumbass messed that up somehow.
EndeavorOS or other. Artix maybe? But never used any of those
Archintstall sometimes produces problems(at least I had problems with it). Make sure that you have the current iso version of arch on your stick and try again.

I really like Debian I was using Arch before, but Debian looks better to me
Mint BTW
Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can't recommend EndeavorOS more. It's great.
Bah ha ha! All the main distros are amazing these days. You really can't go wrong with most. And if one doesn't work, just pick another of the top 5.
